Message	The stock wheels are a pretty dated pattern, and painting them just makes it look worse. The stock silver color is very conservative and it matches the style of the wheel. Anything else makes the car look old and cheap. I don't care for chrome wheels, but they're better than painted wheels. The wheels are only 16" and they have thick spokes. When they are chromed they either look like ghetto-bling or early-90s-bling. On some colors it will look better than others. There is NOTHING you can do to these wheels to make them look like a 2005 model. Either go for the "OEM purist" look or scrap them and get something else.
